We March- But First, We Train

In just a few weeks, the nation’s Capital will be filled with frustrated Americans wanting  to make sure that Congress hears from them, loud and clear, at the Unite in Action Symposium and March on DC. Grassroots activists from across the country have submitted videos explaining WHY they are coming to DC for the events being held September 9th through 12th. Watch this one from a recent convert to the tea party movement.

For the last 18 months, protests and town hall meetings have been taking place around our country- most politicians are clearly not interested in what the American public has to say. Instead of waiting for change to come, it is time to make our own change- change the way we communicate with them, hold them accountable, change THEM if they don’t listen. That is the purpose of the events taking place in September- sharing a strategy, uniting behind common goals, combining efforts. Go beyond just showing up to make a statement, remembering that actions speak louder than words. What do protest signs mean if there are no actions to back them up?

Don’t get me wrong- the actual March is important, but the Symposium is more important. The way I see it, the March should be a warning to Congress, that we have the knowledge and the resources, and we are about to use them. But before you march, get those tools, tools that you can take back home and use. If you want ideas, resources, knowledge, and to join forces with other people that have the same goals, we will see you there.
